Chapter 110 Thinking of Good Things
Zhang Juexia's eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Defu in surprise, "What did you say?"
"I said your sister Qiuye wants to open a shop and wants you to help.
You must have heard about the financial resources of the Li family.
What you, sister Qiuye, mean is that good things should be kept within the family.
We are a family, and now that she is doing well, we have to help other relatives."
Zhang Defu spoke in a very arrogant tone, as if Mr. Li was his own son-in-law.
Zhang Juexia lowered her head and examined her body from head to toe. She looked like she was short of money.
Besides, even if she was short of money, Zhang Qiuye would not be so kind as to help her.
There must be something fishy going on here.
"Did Zhang Qiuye ask you to come?"
Zhang Defu saw that Zhang Juexia's tone of voice had softened when speaking to him. It was just as Qiu Ye said, money makes the world go round.
No matter how tough Zhang Juexia is, she will never go against money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Defu chuckled, "When your sister Qiuye mentioned this, I thought of you and your son-in-law.
Dongsheng is still young and useless.
The only people who can be used in the family are you and your son-in-law.
Qiuye and I are one family, and we shouldn't have different opinions."
"Did Zhang Qiuye really say that the money earned would be divided equally?"
"Yes, yes."
"Did she say what kind of business she wanted to do? How would she do it?"
"Qiuye just had this plan, but hasn't decided what to do yet.
Xia'er, you and Qiuye are sisters, please help her think about what we can sell in town to make the most money."
Zhang Juexia looked at Zhang Defu with contempt, he really underestimated them.
Not only did he play the family card in front of her, he also tried to trick her into talking, really thinking she was easy to manipulate.
"I'm a mountain man, how can I know what the outside world is like?
If you want to know what business you are doing, you must ask Qiu Ye, because she is the eighth concubine of the rich man Li.
Rich Man Li has so many shops, why not just give her any one?"
Zhang Defu smiled awkwardly, "It's not as easy as you say, there are many rules in a wealthy family.
Your sister isn't having an easy life either, and she still wants to help us.
She provides a ready-made shop and all we have to do is sell the goods.
Xia'er, I heard that the most popular canned hawthorn at Manfu Restaurant was made by you.
"I did it, what's wrong?"
Zhang Defu forced a smile on his face, stood up from his chair, and rubbed his hands, "Great, I knew my daughter was the most capable.
Qiuye has opened a shop, and you can take the canned food you made to the shop to sell.
When the money is sold, you can split it equally. That would be great."
"Is this your idea? Or is it Zhang Qiuye's idea?"
"Of course it's Dad. You're the first one Dad would think of for something like this."
Zhang Juexia kept staring at Zhang Defu until Zhang Defu felt uncomfortable. "Of course it was thanks to Qiu Ye that he reminded me, otherwise..."
"Ye Beixiu, send this person back the same way he came here. Don't dirty my land so early in the morning."
Ye Beixiu was also angered by Zhang Defu. He stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Defu's collar, and pulled him out.
Zhang Defu yelled, "I'm your father-in-law, and you treat me like this? Believe it or not, I'll go to the government office and sue you for being unfilial."
"Go ahead and sue me! Then I'll sue you for trespassing."
Zhang Defu was dragged out of the door. He was jumping up and down in dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to start cursing, he saw Wang Guilan and a group of people walking up towards him in the distance, talking and laughing.
He still felt pain when he remembered the beating he received last time.
This time he didn't dare to feel uncomfortable anymore, so he lowered his head and ran downstairs.
"Who is this? Running around like an idiot so early in the morning."
"Who knows? Maybe he's a beggar from somewhere else."
"Bah, with his ugly appearance, he should do something. It's better than begging."
Someone's saliva landed on Zhang Defu.
Zhang Defu didn't even dare to say a word. He just wanted to avoid being recognized by Wang Guilan and quickly escape from Yejia Village.
"He really is a fool, isn't he also dumb?"
Someone kicked Zhang Defu again to verify whether he was mute.
One kick was not enough, so he kicked again.
The man shook his head in dismay. "He's really stupid and dumb. No wonder he has to beg for food!"
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu were discussing in the room, "Zhang Qiuye must have heard something. She saw the Manfu Restaurant making a lot of money and she's become jealous.
She really meant well. I really wondered if she was too smart or if she thought everyone else was stupid.
No, I have to go to town to find Qian Yulin and give her a lesson no matter what.
She really thought that if she married Mr. Li and became his eighth concubine, she would be able to ascend to heaven."
Wang Guilan was already shouting in the yard, "Xia'er, I've found everyone in our village who can sew for you. Come out quickly."
"Grandma, take everyone to the backyard warehouse first, I'll be there soon."
Zhang Juexia agreed with Wang Guilan and turned to look at Ye Beixiu, "The breast milk for making purses has been brought in. It's not a good idea for me to go to town at this time.
So, I'll write a letter and have my eldest brother drive the carriage to take you to town. You can help me deliver the letter to Madam Li."
"It's the only way."
Ye Beixiu took the letter and asked Gancao to help him go to the old house to call Ye Beishan.
Zhang Juexia took a few deep breaths in the room, adjusted his mentality, and then went to the backyard.
Wang Guilan brought about a dozen people and introduced them to her one by one. After going through the whole process, her face was numb from laughing.
I only remember that besides calling them aunt, I also called them Auntie, and there were one or two people of the same generation who I had to call sister-in-law or younger sister-in-law.
"Thank you all for coming. Before we start working, we have to make an agreement. I will teach you how to do it in a moment.
These fabrics are precious, so let's just give it a try today. If it works, we'll continue making it. If it doesn't, we'll just stop.
When I say a purse is worth thirty cents, it really is thirty cents, but the prerequisite is that you have to meet my requirements before I can settle the bill.
If I give in, I'm afraid I'll have to fight with everyone to get the money back for the fabric."
"Bei Xiu's wife, please stop talking so much. Your grandma said everything she needed to say yesterday. We are here to make money."
"It's so cold staying home and wasting firewood. You have such a good job here, we should cherish it!"
"Everyone has to work hard and not be perfunctory."
"Okay then, let's get started!"
It’s a bit difficult to teach it the first time.
Gradually, everyone's comprehension ability improved, and there were also one or two aunts who were really good at needlework and would give guidance from time to time.
Not only were the more than ten people Wang Guilan brought in able to do the job, but one or two of them were also very perceptive and knew how to innovate.
She had to sigh again, there really are masters among the people!
